Title: Scribus 1.70 was not able to load its preferences
Post by: mottechy on June 24, 2025, 08:51:53 AM
When I start Scribus 1.70 i get the following issue:

"Scribus was not able to load its preferences:
Failed to read prefs XML from "/home/(Usr)/.config/scribus/scribus170.rc": Unexpected ''. at line 121, col 39
Default settings will be loaded."

Don't have this version, but if I can suggest you might fill a bugreport and attach the XML file to it.
https://bugs.scribus.net/

Otherwise it will be just foretelling.

Did 1.7 work previously? Or is this a new install?

You will need to share your scribus170.rc file in the ticket...

It is a new installation.

Interesting is: It is working in my Laptop (Old Toshiba)
but having the issue with Desktop.
